Augmenting Reliability Models for Manufactured Products

2. The method of claim 1 wherein a type of the first data of the first component and a type of the second data of the second component is defined by a compatibility model, wherein the compatibility model includes a set of compatibility rules that is configured to determine the pairing data from the set of compatibility rules.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the first component attribute, the second component attribute, the first data of the first component, and the second data of the second component are received by a compatibility module containing a compatibility model.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising analyzing a multi-dimensional model to reduce a dimensionality of the first data of the first component and the second data of the second component when at least one of the first component or the second component includes more than one type of data generated during use of the particular product.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the pairing data indicates that the pairing of the first component and the second component is an unseen pairing.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising augmenting a maintenance plan for the particular product based on the augmented reliability model.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising determining a remaining useful lifetime of the particular product based on the augmented reliability model.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising modifying data collection methods for products with similar measures of compatibility based on the augmented reliability model.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the augmented reliability model is a modified reliability model for the particular product.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein retrieving the reliability model comprises querying a manufacturing information database and receiving the reliability model.

12. The method of claim 11 further comprising initiating one or more actions in relation to use of a second particular product similar to the particular product based on the augmented reliability model.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein initiating one or more actions in relation to use of the second particular product includes augmenting a maintenance plan for the second particular product.

14. The method of claim 12 wherein initiating one or more actions in relation to use of the second particular product includes determining a remaining useful lifetime of the second particular product based on the augmented reliability model.

15. The method of claim 12 wherein initiating one or more actions in relation to use of the second particular product includes customizing a data collection method for the second particular product.

16. The method of claim 11 wherein a type of the first data of the first component and a type of the second data of the second component is defined by a compatibility model.

17. The method of claim 16 wherein the first component attribute, the second component attribute, the first data of the first component, and the second data of the second component are received by a compatibility module containing the compatibility model.

18. The method of claim 11 further comprising analyzing a multi-dimensional model to reduce a dimensionality of the first data of the first component and the second data of the second component when at least one of the first component or the second component includes more than one type of data generated during use of the particular product.
